Use imx_start_tx() just to enable the TX interrupt. It's the job of the
TX interrupt ISR to fill the transmit buffer, then. If the transmit

  From the Documentation/serial/driver, we can see:
    -----------------------------------------
     start_tx(port)
      Start transmitting characters.
     -----------------------------------------

It tells us we can transmit data in the imx_start_tx.

Well, it depends how you read 'Start transmitting', no?

It doesn't have to mean 'actually transmit data'. It talks about 'start'. And this could also mean 'start the transmission (by enabling the interrupt)'.

Ok :)
I do not object this patch.

My opinion is : If the third patch is redundant, could this patch still needed?


But this patch moves it to the interrupt handler,

It doesn't 'move' any code to the interrupt handler. The code in the interrupt handler is already there.

i knew it.

this patch makes the
interrupt handler do more jobs.

... to get the locking in the correct order.

again, the third patch can be ignored.
The locking is correct for the imx.c.


thanks
